Comment
Different variants exist.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Heller coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "FJ" (for Francis Josias) located above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the same denomination and era, making it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
